actually some other company is starting rumors that they are the exclusive iPhone 4 carrier (we all know who that is don’t we 😉 ? ). This is just reassuring and better to have something official instead of an undisclosed source

i just went to mobily last night to buy an iphone 3gs coz i can’t wait for the iphone 4 and i just found out that they didn’t have any stocks of the iphone 3gs..i need to make a reservation for them to order an iphone 3gs for me..i also asked when will the iphone 4 be coming and the man on the desk replied “it will be coming thi september”..i really hope it will be available this september..

Bear in mind, Mobily and all other official carriers will not cap iPhone 4 supply at “two sets per customers”, as we have seen in rest of the world, thereby luring local shop-owners to buy as many sets as they can by offering a bit more price to Mobily.

iPhone 3GS experience in Saudi Arabia tells us that almost all of the sets were brought by local mobile shop owners from Mobily and were then sold at the price they wished.

After 1 year of official launch, I paid almost 3300 for 32GB iPhone 3gs. Every time I went to Mobily, I heard them saying that they’re out of stock.

Am currently in the US will be back to Saudi in couple of days, Q: should I buy the iPhone 4 32GB unlocked with a price of 754$ (including tax) 599$ without tax? Will I face any problems with carriers and stuff?
Or should I just buy back in Saudi?

I don’t think in U.S one can have unlocked iPhone. At $599, impossible. If you’re planing to land in Saudi Arabia, the best way is to get an iPhone 4 from any country that is offering unlocked versions and have it used here.

You are right. I live in the US and you must begin or continue a contract with AT&T, the only current iPhone provider in the US. It is stated on the Apple website. A word of advice: if you do purchase an iPhone from the US and have it unlocked and/ or jailbroken, this supposedly leaves the phone void of warranty.
They were supposed to open up the market to another provider, but that has yet to happen.

Hey, Im gonna be visiting jeddah soon, Had a couple of questions, Are iPhones from Mobily and STC sold unlocked? (officially) Â or are they locked to stc/mobily? And a tentative price of 16GB iPhone 4 should be around 3200 SR? am i correct?
